Where do you stand

[paddyjk]

Played a 4BBB match recently and one of the oppos had the hump about where I was stood while he was getting ready to take his shot. To me it doesn't matter as long as your stood still. Is there an accepted or good etiquette place to stand ?

Too obvious

I think it’s down to personal preference. I don’t like it if someone’s stood behind me and would rather they stood in front or to the right. Think I’m worried about hitting them. This is purely on the tee box where it’s a bit tighter for space, on the course it doesn’t really matter as long as they’re not within swing range.

If someone asked me nicely to stand somewhere else I’d do it as everyone’s different and has their own reasons.

Edit - seen the other replies, have I been ?

No not at all. I was stood behind as in looking down his line but he insisted I stand to the side . Idk really , I wasn't even in his peripheral view. Idm playing people like this as they let silly things bother them.

As long as they aren’t stood too close I couldn’t care less.

How do people cope if there is a tree (insert other objects if required) in their eye line?

Or god forbid a bird tweeting on your backswing.

I’d be fine with that and to be honest I think that’s what most people do so that they can help keep an eye in your ball!

I know people who are bothered by all sorts of on course stuff.

Yeah same I always try and keep an eye on the ball. Unless they turn away in disgust one to many times and don't look themselves

Not in front of the wall.

If someone stands where you're not comfortable, a polite request to move is harmless.

An expletive might mean a less than convivial rest of round!

 

[Dando]

With some forumers it’s safer standing in front of the ball

Move. But anyone who asks someone to move as long as they arent too close, is an unreasonable oik. Dont play with them again.

Where Playing Partners Stand when I tee off

I'll open a new post if I may as I was not able to make a simple point on this matter before the thread was closed. I was taught from a young age by some gnarled old Glasgow muni golfers that it is best and good etiquette to stand facing a player teeing off. And so that is what I do when...

I can’t decide if you are posting this question to try and convince everyone you are a newbie……

Or on the wind up

Anyhow this was done to death about 8 years ago, have a look at every post and we’ll see you in about a month

Should I start a thread about holes being a little big bigger? Any other classics?

Have we had dress codes this week?

 

[JamesR]

@SwingsitlikeHogan any thoughts?

 

[IanM]

Folk badly dressed also stand in the wrong place. (And use iron headcovers/pink tees)

There you go.

In front of them or behind them.
Edit...
Behind is behind their back, not on their line.
